HYMN Lyrics: While We Pray, While We Plead

1. While we pray, while we plead,

While you see

Our souls still here.

While your father calls you home,

Will you not my brothers come.

Why not, why not now?

Why not, why not now?

Why not come to Jesus now?

2. Jesus, grant me this I pray,

Ever in thy heart to stay.

Let me evermore abide

In your heart and wounded side.

3. If the evil one prepare,

Or the world’s termpting snared,

I am safe when I abide

In your heart and wounded side

4. If the flesh more dangerous still

Tempt my soul to deeds of ill,

Nought I fear when I abide,

In your heart and wounded side

5. Death will come one day to me,

Jesus cast me not from thee,

Dying let me still abide

In your heart and wounded side.
